Court approves Appendix U allowing one-acre sale in Precinct 3; seller told sale preceded new rule awareness
Summary
Henderson County Commissioners Court approved an Appendix U request from Wiley and April Swift to acknowledge a one-acre sale from their tract in Precinct 3; the applicants said they were unaware of a rule change and have no immediate development plans for the parcel.
Wiley and April Swift told Henderson County Commissioners Court they sold one acre of their tract in Precinct 3 to a friend without a development plan and asked the court to accept an Appendix U filing acknowledging that change.
Wiley Swift said the parcel was not in a floodplain to their knowledge, the property sits on higher ground, and neither they nor their realtor were aware of a change in the county rule when the sale occurred. They told the court they plan to retain the remaining tract for their two youngest children and have no current development plans.
County procedure discussion included a question about whether a floodplain determination applied; the applicants said it did not. The court discussed the two-year restriction on splitting the tract and the applicants confirmed they understood they could not split more pieces for two years. Commissioner McCam moved to approve Appendix U as submitted; Commissioner Tooley seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
